In this episode of "Talking with..." Daniel sits down with Maher Mezahi.

They discuss how Maher navigated playing football in Windsor, Ontario, and the general setup of Canadian football. His early love for Arsenal, Emmanuel Petit, and Thierry Henry. The ups and downs of being an Algeria supporter, and how the country's freedom struggle was different than most African countries of the era. How does one go from studying philosophy and political science in Canada to moving across an ocean to cover football in Algeria, and later France? Maher tells his path. Also a quick-fire round which conclude with Miriam Makeba, Cheb Khaled, and Fela Kuti.
